Security and Networking
Planning for the Unexpected
As Windows infrastructures become more business-critical and pervasive throughout organizations, the task of effectively securing the proliferation of servers, workstations, disparate locations and methods of access becomes increasingly more complex.
Security threats and vulnerabilities are a constantly moving target and it is vital for IT organizations to be able to recognize and adopt new technologies, and yet at the same time be able to simplify the management of the necessary layers of defence.
Windows Server 2008 introduces Network Access Protection (NAP) as a new platform to perform computer health policy validation, ensure ongoing compliance with health policies, and optionally restrict the access of computers that do not comply with system health requirements, until their state of health can be corrected.
Windows Server 2008 and Vista
NAP combined with enhancements to IPSec, Group Policy Management, built-in firewall and locked-down role specific configuration means Windows Server 2008 can be implemented to be intrinsically more secure than previous versions and therefore mitigate risk.
However, implementing tighter security practices and technologies, such as Windows Vista User Account Control (UAC), can provide challenges to both IT and the business users.
1E Professional Services have helped numerous major companies ease the migration path towards a better and more secure infrastructure, while minimizing the pain.
